Hello,
I want to completely strip the quick shifter system off my bike.
Is it possible? I see there's the connector and the screws that keep the sensor in place.
I guess if I remove that and start the bike, the light will start blipping as if there is an error on the bike correct? So I wonder if there is a way around this.
A response would be greatly appreciated.
Mine stopped working. I never used it, went to push the button to mess with it and it won't turn on. Dealer said its a program error. So I am guessing you can have the dealer turn the feature off with the data controller and then dump the sensors and switch
Would actually be very nice if it really is just a feature which can be turned off via a dealer.
So yours stopped working but no errors turned up when you went to the dealer?
I mean.. was the light behind the front numberplate blipping or so?
Would be very nice if someone can confirm it can be disabled/turned off when connected to the data controller. Will make things much easier.
Thank you
The problem is if you remove the sensor on the engine casings you also loose the input for the ECU for the fuel/ignition maps in the diffrent gears...!
Oh.. that is true.. what am I talking about.. I just disassembled it myself and saw..
The quick shifter feature is just software within the ecu. So there is basically no additional sensor or anything extra as far as cables or hardware goes on the new bike that there wasn't on the previous bike.
So yes that sensor is the gear position sensor.
Of course I will not be removing this one.
So all one can do is go to a KTM dealer and ask if there is any way they can disable this feature.
I see.. thank you very much.
I will reply with an update here when I do that.

I gotta ask, why are you so bent on permanently disabling it. Just don't turn it on. Too easy.
There's a word circulating around that removing that adds extra hp!!
I have a 350, old guy, so dont need any more power, i have not raced or road dirt in 25 years.lol I just wanted to mess with it. the traction control and launch work, so the dealer said it prob lost the program, but no error. We didn't have 4 strokes, its def a different world. Also, things got a lot bigger over the years. I raced 125/250A, was the mid pack slow guy back in the day, now everyone sends everything. Tracks are very super cross like and these bikes are sick fast. I cant imagine needing any more power. Seems like you can take the clutch off the bike and be just fine!
But of course it is not about the power.. 🤭
I see.. you are lucky you didn't get an error I guess. Thank you for letting me know.
This post didn't lead to anything as basically there is nothing you can physically do to remove the quick shifter. It is within the ecu. I'll see what I do.
picking up bike tomorrow, somehow quick shift lost its programming, so they reprogrammed. so you can just turn it off. dealer said they can plug in computer and disable it. So I am guessing you can disable the TC as well, remove the switch and move on
Perfect. Thank you very much for the update.
